Thank you, Judy. I know it is in AL--I have an uncle there, and if we got a cheap ticket he might be able to go next year. I didn't know about the scholarships, though. Thanks!

We'll try ... hopefully next year I won't be on the verge of labour. (Honestly, if he had come a week or so ago, we may have actually tried to make the trip!)

We should have went to FOT!.
We even have an old motor home that we could have taken there....
OK, I'll start saving now and maybe have enough money for gas to get there next year!

Unfortunately for some of us, it is too far to come. Especially when coming for FOT would mean we would not be able to go see our own families later in the year.

At the cost of gas and food along the way, we'd be better off flying, I am sure. I just don't know how we'd bring everything we needed on the plane, lol.

So, for a week now our mail has been coming early. Today we are expecting a DVD we really want to watch so Nate did his schoolwork early and fast, and I did the dishes and so on. And the mail still hasn't come.

Yah, I wish everyone cuold make it here... It's been fun meeting my imaginary friends. And now these poor unsocializeed home school kids will have someone to play with.

Yesterday's kids fun run was so cool. It was a grassy path around the yard. A couple of times a kid would trip and fall down, only to have the kid behind them stop and help them up. I've seen fun runs before and have never seen that before. Not saying that it wouldn't happen. but to see all the kids working together was great!

Time to check on the pizzas. We are eating like kings and queens this week!

Hey, has anyone sent their kid to space camp/space academy?

my brother went when we were teenagers...he LOVED it.
I have no clue about scholarship programs for it though...he worked for over a year to afford to go himself (my parents couldn't afford to pay for it).

sounds like y'all are having a blast. ONE YEAR we will be there too...this year hubby had to be off so much with his surgeries that they weren't even keen on him taking off two weeks when Justice was born, so taking off again right now wouldn't have been able to be done.
For us, driving would be cheaper then flying though...because of the number of tickets we would need. Driving though is about a three day trip from where we live (when you factor in the distance and that I have night blindness and the stopping, etc)

Ummm.... Jen, when were you in prison, and for what???

His, Zoebob, and I just got back from Donna's. She is looking pretty good. We had a great time, and looked at lovely pics that donna had taken. It was so nice to sit and visit with her.

I am so exhausted. We aren't usually up this late.

I was wondering the same thing, but asked it in another thread. (You think you know someone....)

Did you just call Brian's behind "lovely"? He'll laugh when I tell him that.

After I have all our pictures together for the lawyer, I am going to make a folder on photobucket and let everyone see them, if they want. Fair warning...for Brian's hip surgery, they had to cut through his butt. We counted staples yesterday...44 on his cheek alone.

Ellie didn't want to see the butt pictures since she has to see a clothed Brian in real life

Didn't want to...but she did look! LOL

It's a hip/butt...everyone has a couple. That one is the easiest to look at anyway, IMO, since it is a surgical wound and not like his leg.

I am amazed that they could fix his hip through that one inscission. It s amazing what they can do! It was a good size cut though.

I was in A prison a few years ago (six?) to teach sewing to the men.

I once won tickets to a basketball game in a 'weirdest job' contest with that one.

My stepmom was really worried at the time, because we would be using scissors and pins, but I had two armed guards with me at all times. And the guys were really quite nice.

The weather here is awful. Cloudy and we will probably have a thunderstorm but no rain. It has not rained since about June 20th and everything is ripe for another fire. You may remember a year ago when I worked a 16 hour day due to a very large fire.

Good morning everyone!!

DD started Orthodontist appt. today. Busy, busy, busy!! Someone should of warned me of how many dent. doc. ortho. hair cuts, eye exams...etc....etc... that 5 children would give a person!!!

We have had a break from the heat and had perfect weather (except for nasty misquitos!)

We are in debt.... but I'm happy today, for some reason, it is not bothering me! Maybe because the Orthodontist is 500 dollars less than expected and DH will hopefully be getting a job soon:)

There are a lot of immigrants here from both the former USSR and many Islamic countries. This can be a bit dicey. Last night at Wal-Mart a Muslim employee stabbed a Russian employee. On my sis' bf's shift...can't wait to ask him about it, lol.

I am having the hardest time getting us out of the house this morning! I need to go to the store and to my dad's house, and we have to leave for the meet at 1.

Donna, does Brian know his butt is gonna be on photobucket for all to see?

Jen, if you ever can fly out to FOT we will come up with stuff for you, don't worry. As long as you bring clothes we can collectively find tents and covers for y'all.

He's Brian. Do you think he cares?

It's not an indecent shot, I promise, or I wouldn't have shown anyone. Indecent IRL, maybe, but not in a picture if that makes sense?
